Just shown him on the F Word on Ch4 blasting along in a titanium 599.



Sounded cloud9



I knew he had a 430 but I suppose he can afford both.

No need for the extended footage other then to massage his whopping ego.



Still looks glorious in grey.

??

Then again, maybe he's like every other Ferrari owner on this board and bloody proud/excited by his new car that was a birthday treat to himself? rolleyes Or in your eyes does everyone who owns a Fezzer on here suffer from a massive ego that needs massaging?

What I saw was a bloke who obviously loves his watches (he wore about 4 or 5 different ones during the show) and loves his cars (not only was he driving the 599 but he was also sitting in a bentley making a phone call at one point too).

I remember reading his wife bought him a 550 for his b'day. He was reversing one night, and a drunk woman walked behind him and as she nearly got hit by the reversing car, smacked the car and gave him a gob full.



Rammo being Rammo, he carried on, despite the woman shouting "when you leave, I'm going to scratch this".....a few min later, a tearful woman entered his restaurant, to tell Ramsey that she had indeed scratched the crap out of his car.



Was well publicised at the time.



As for his ego, he doubtless has an ego but from what I've seen of him, he's also a petrol-head like everyone of us too. Hat off to him for enjoying his cars.

Good on him. You would need to go out and buy that car if you had just been beaten at your own game by Ronnie Corbett.
